About
Welcome to the Tavern Smokehouse!
Hello there and Welcome! We are John and Sherri Buchanan - the owners of The Tavern Smokehouse!
Originally from the St. Louis area, we decided to move to the Lake for some much needed peace and quiet. When we first arrived three years ago, we felt welcomed and at home in the community. So, having been in the restaurant game for over 25 years, we decided we would set up camp permanently with a new restaurant - The Tavern at Trails End. After a very successful year, we decided to open ANOTHER restaurant so we started the Tavern Smokehouse! We enjoy meeting people and want our customers to feel comfortable from the moment they enter! We hope you enjoy the outside patio while you enjoy our house-smoked meats and delicious home-made sides! Please make sure to let us know if we can help you out in any way. We look forward to greeting each and every one of you and hope to see you often - because
Life Needs More Barbeque and Beer!
Testimonials
"Smokehouse Tavern catered our 50th anniversary party and the food was delicious! We heard nothing but compliments all evening. The food was very fresh and plentiful. I highly recommend them to cater any event you have. "

"WOW! The absolute best portions with the best flavor for the best price around. Lately I have opted against BBQ because of the price and leaving feeling like I didn’t get much for the price but not here! We left absolutely stuffed and already planning our next trip! "

"This spot was amazing! The brisket & pulled pork were INCREDIBLE! The only reason I gave food 4 stars was that the Mac & cheese needed just a bit more flavor. It was still good but it has potential to be great. The service was speedy & friendly, the vibes were chill and the place was clean. Would be an awesome spot for a week night meal or hanging out with a group of friends. We will go back! "

"Friendly staff and indoor or covered outdoor dining options. The plate meals have soooo much food that you can almost share a meal. Our food had lots of flavor and was served quickly. Will definitely be back 👍 "
